[s-cars] whistle/whoosh

[Rokas Reipa]

Actually, power is pretty good. I've had a michelin man hose tear on my old
5kcst and this doesnt seem like a tear at all...I will check the hoses
though. I get about 18psi boost in overboost mode but I feel like it should
be more, considering the car is 'chipped'. I checked the michelin man hose
not too long ago and it seems fine; I will check the other two hoses soon.
Thanks,

Rokas
